Got any closer pics? If you've seen live thrips you likely have a much worse infestation than you think. Look at the leaves; if you see an oily residue (much like a neem residue) and bite marks, or jagged holes, the thrips are thriving. New growth will be deformed or necrotic. Check the under-sides of damaged leaves and you'll probably find thrips crawling around.
